The Mean Streets of Oakland

Since I'm not in shape today to go take any pictures (I'm still wrapped up in blankets watching bad daytime tv, and drinking buckets of tea) I thought I'd share some of the photos Mario and I had taken around our neighborhood - around Piedmont Ave. and at the Westminster Amphitheater. These were taken as part of our engagement photos. I can't believe that was almost two years ago now!

Piedmont Ave. has actually changed a lot in that time. So many businesses closed. Seeing all of that happen really prompted us to make a point to support our local shops, theaters, and restaurants.

Yes, it was a lot of fun. We actually didn't have a wedding photographer since it was so small. This was great because the photographer was a friend and we didn't have to pay- she just wanted to build her portfolio : )I know a lot of people spend for ever planning their wedding and choosing photographers, but we were really low-key about it all.
